Retrieval-augmented generation is increasingly effective in answering scientific questions from literature, but many state-of-the-art systems are expensive and closed-source. We introduce Ai2 Scholar QA, a free online scientific question answering application. To facilitate research, we make our entire pipeline public: as a customizable open-source Python package and interactive web app, along with paper indexes accessible through public APIs and downloadable datasets. We describe our system in detail and present experiments analyzing its key design decisions. In an evaluation on a recent scientific QA benchmark, we find that Ai2 Scholar QA outperforms competing systems.

    cs.CL 2025-07 reject novelty 6.0 of 10

    DeepWriter is a pipeline that generates fact-grounded, multimodal long-form documents from a curated offline knowledge base, but the reported evidence does not support the abstract's claim that it surpasses baselines.

  3. Compare: A Framework for Scientific Comparisons

    cs.DL 2025-09 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10

    Compare is a RAG-based system that generates qualitative, citation-supported comparisons of scientific contributions at institution and publication granularity.

  4. Literature-Grounded Novelty Assessment of Scientific Ideas

    cs.IR 2025-06 conditional novelty 5.0 of 10
